FTFA:Zoo officials say the baby will not be named until his or her sex has been confirmed.

Well...1) That doesn't look like a boy to me in the pictures, or are we that different from their species?2) What the heck kind of stupidity is this? Waiting to name an animal that cannot even communicate a name that matches it's gender? Who cares?

octopied:How can they not tell the baby's sex. I mean, I can't from that photo because of the size. But I'd think those guys could get a good close up shot and be able to tell.

First they've got to convince the mother to let them get a good close-up shot. Maternal instincts seldom make this an easy process, especially during the first few weeks. Even TFA's picture was clearly taken at some distance.

It's a Tetris block?

Just imagine a variant of Tetris in which all blocks were modified monkey genitals. Then imagine a band named "Modified Monkey Genitals". Then imagine them writing a bonus verse for John Lennon's "Imagine". Then Imagine John Lennon playing that game while singing that song and that would be great and funnnyandfantasticandspecialandOHMYGODILOVECOFFEEEEE!!!
